02 / DETAIL
At Donaldson Timber Engineering we manufacture beautifully crafted timber feature trusses, using Oak, Glulam and Kerto.
A wide range of timber species can be sourced to suit the architectural specification, subject to availability and structural requirements. In addition to the choice of timber for your feature trusses, you have the option of exposed or discreet connection joints.
Feature trusses are particularly eye-catching above entrances or below vaulted ceilings in retail, leisure, office or residential buildings. Moreover, feature trusses create an open and spacious feel to any room, and a wide range of timber species can be selected to suit the architectural character of the property, subject to availability and structural requirements.
We can deliver feature trusses pre-assembled or as individual loose components ready to assemble, in order to minimise delivery costs to suit any project size or location in mainland UK.
03 / EXPOSED STRUCTURE
Structure you want on show
Feature trusses are made to be seen. Produced in Oak, Glulam or Kerto, they carry real structural load while giving an interior the character of traditional exposed timber.
Oak, Glulam or Kerto
Engineered timber as standard, with other species sourced to suit the specification.
